Overview

What the ID-ANT-5CP 5 dBi UHF antenna is for

The ID-ANT-5CP is a small external UHF RFID antenna for places where a larger panel will not physically fit and tags are read at short to medium distance. At 200 × 200 × 30 mm, it can sit under a billing counter, inside a self-service kiosk or within an access-control pedestal.

The modest 5 dBi gain keeps the read zone compact. At a POS counter, that helps the reader focus on the items in front of the cashier rather than the stock on the racks behind.

Why circular polarization helps at a counter

Garment tags hang at random angles and customers put items down any way round. A circularly polarized antenna reads tags across a wide range of orientations, whereas a linear antenna of the same gain can miss tags that do not line up with it.

Where it is used

  • Retail POS: under-counter reading of apparel tags at checkout.
  • Self-checkout kiosks: built into kiosk housings where full-size panels do not fit.
  • Access control pedestals: compact read points at doorways for UHF credential cards.
  • Library return desks: identifying tagged books and media at the service counter.
  • Small warehouse checkpoints: portals where space is limited.

Installation and connection

Four M4 threaded inserts on the back take standard VESA or wall brackets. The IP65 aluminium housing suits indoor use and lightly sheltered outdoor spots. The antenna has an N female port (50 Ω, VSWR ≤ 1.5) rated for 2 W continuous input, and optional 1 m, 3 m or 5 m cables with SMA or TNC connectors can be ordered with it.

This antenna is listed for 902–928 MHz. UHF RFID readers in India operate at 865–868 MHz, so confirm the band variant before ordering for use in India.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5 dBi ID-ANT-5CP used for?
Short to mid-range reading in constrained spaces. Its compact 200 × 200 mm panel suits under-counter retail POS, desktop kiosks, access-control pedestals and small warehouse checkpoints where a larger panel will not fit.
Why does this antenna use circular polarization?
Circular polarization lets the antenna read tags at varying orientations. That matters at a POS counter, where garment tags hang in random directions and customers present items at any angle; a linear antenna of the same gain can miss tags that are not aligned with it.
Can the ID-ANT-5CP be installed outdoors?
It has an IP65 aluminium housing, so it suits indoor use and lightly sheltered outdoor spots rather than fully exposed positions. It mounts to VESA or wall brackets using the four M4 rear inserts.
Is it suitable for India's 865–868 MHz band?
The antenna is listed for 902–928 MHz and described as FCC/ETSI dual-band compatible. India uses 865–868 MHz for UHF RFID, so ask us to confirm the band for your reader before ordering.
Which readers can I connect it to?
It connects through its N female port to a fixed UHF RFID reader with an external antenna port, provided the reader and antenna work on the same frequency band. Optional 1 m, 3 m or 5 m cables with SMA or TNC connectors are available, so tell us your reader model and port type when you request a quote.
